Test Drive Unlimited is an open world racing game developed by Eden Games and published by Atari. It is part of the Test Drive series and the first entry in the Test Drive Unlimited sub-series.
Unlike prior games in the series, Unlimited features an open-world, allowing players to drive a variety of sports cars and motorcycles around a recreation of the Hawaiian island of Oahu that features around 1,000 miles (1,609 km) of roads.
